Girl Drives Golf Ball Into Bud Light Bottle

Baba Ganoush — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:00:31 +0000

With my day off today, I decided to enjoy the 80 degree weather and go out for a nice little round of golf. Of course, my golf bag was packed with beer to help me through 18 holes when my game goes to shit. But if I can have one drive as nice as this girl’s shot, it’s going to be a fantastic day!

The IE 8 Commercial That Didn’t Make It

Sure “In private browsing” or as I like to call it “porn mode” is handy but why is this lady snooping through the dudes browsing history to begin with? It’s a simple rule, “Stay out of the browsing history and you won’t accidentally see a site that will make you puke.”

It’s funny but not funny enough to get me to switch from Firefox which coincidentally just released version 3.5 which has it’s own “porn mode.”

Friday Beer Review - Redhook’s Slim Chance

Baba Ganoush — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:00:41 +0000

Brewery Name and Location: Redhook Ale Brewery - Woodinville, WA
Name of Brew: Slim Chance
Style of Brew: Light (Lite) Ale
ABV: 3.8%

Earlier this year Redhook introduced their Slim Chance Light Ale, and have knocked it out of the park. The light or lite beer market is definitely a huge sector of beer sales, but when you have a smaller brewery enter the ring against the likes of Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite, there’s a lot of competition. However, to compare Slim Chance with those beers isn’t really fair. First of all, you’re not going to find Slim Chance in cans and maybe the closest competitor would be Samuel Adams Light.

I consider Slim Chance the beer for the health conscious boozer. Someone who wants to go to a party, enjoy a good tasting beer, get slightly buzzed, but not consume a ridiculous amount of calories while doing so. Slim Chance is only 125 calories and 8.7 grams of carbs per 12 oz., but still possess a 3.8% ABV. The most important this about Slim Chance is the taste, especially compared to other light beers, and finds a nice medium between a traditional light beers and some of Redhook’s other brews.

Slim Chance should definitely be considered for this weekend’s 4th of July festivities. It’s a beer that everyone can love, and love all day/night long, without filling you up too much and getting you blackout wasted before the fireworks start going off. Happy 4th of July!

Stephen Colbert Comes To Our Defense

Baba Ganoush — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:00:28 +0000

The majority of the TastyBooze staff will be enjoying the 4th of July atop a deck overlooking Seattle’s Lake Union, the perfect location for the annual fireworks demonstration over Gas Works Park. Earlier this week, some douche tried to sue the city of Seattle to cancel the fireworks show because of environmental reasons. I don’t really know the history of the fireworks show, but I know it has been going on as long as I can remember, so, why now? Well, it doesn’t matter. Luckily, we have Stephen Colbert on our side and coming to our defense, so we can enjoy our Independence with shit exploding in the sky in cool formations.

This Isn’t Going To End Well

Summer is here. And for those of you with kids, often times that means water slides. Don’t let this happen to you. Actually though, I went to a water park a couple years ago on a whim with the guys. It was an effing blast, but we were certainly the oldest non-parents there by a solid decade.

The Sears Tower Ledge

Baba Ganoush — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:00:18 +0000

Yesterday, “The Ledge” an all-glass balcony opened at the Sears Tower in Chicago. Just looking at these pictures make me want to grab a hold of my desk for dear life! I’m not necessarily afraid of heights, but this shit is ridiculous. The balconies are suspended 1,353 in the air, accessible from the 103rd floor of the building. Enjoy the view, assuming you aren’t afraid of heights.

5 Reasons Why The 4th Of July Is The Greatest Holiday

Mitch Martin — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:00:53 +0000

Many people would say that the 4th of July is the great American holiday becuase it’s the day that we declared our indepdence from the tea-taxing-limeys. While I won’t argue with that, I would say that the 4th of July is the great American holiday because it’s the one day of the year that every dude basically gets a free pass to do whatever the fuck he wants. Eat shitty food? Done. Drink to much beer? Done. Blow shit up? Done. No other holiday is bringing to the table what the 4th of July is bringing to the table.

Cheese IN the hot dogs - All year long the cheese-in-the-dog is frowned upon by society but the 4th of July is the one day men everywhere can enjoy the greatest food advancement since bacon without shame. And the cheese hot dog is really just symbolic of the fact that on the 4th you can eat all the shit that your doctor tells you not to and you can do it in the name of patriotism.

Stars & Stripes Apparel - It’s the only time when you can wear that Stars & Stripes t-shirt/speedo/jean jacket/bandanna/shorts that you secretly love and will come off as bring patriotic and not a total douche.

Drinking - Thankfully this year it falls on the weekend but the 4th of July is generally the one day a year where every guy in America can get fall down drunk on a weekday and not be thought less of for it.

Fireworks (In Two Parts) - A) A lot of cities and townships have anal retentive policies towards blowing shit up on the 4th. That being said it’s still the one day a year where you can blow shit up for 8 straight hours without much concern for your neighbors or the cops. B) Fireworks makes ladies horny, it’s science. I can’t find the study right now but trust me, nothing gets a lady going like explosions.

Medical Advancements - It used to be that if you miss timed the fuse on the cherry bomb you were looking to drop into the toilet and lost a finger you were fucked. However in this day and age they can reattach just about anything as long as you have most of the pieces.

When Love Coupons Backfire

Baba Ganoush — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:00:41 +0000

During these hard economic times, people are more likely to cut back on their unnecessary spending and in regards to relationships, giving “Love Coupons” instead of actual presents. Be careful of what you’re writing these I.O.U.s for, as they might come back and bite you in the ass (literally).

What Aliens Are Watching On TV

Mitch Martin — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:00:07 +0000

It takes time for the electromagnetic waves of our TV broadcasts to travel out into space which means if there is anyone out there on distant stars monitoring our broadcasts they’ve got some kick ass TV coming their way. I mean anyone chilling out on Wolf 359 and/or Sirius still have Janet Jackson’s boob headed their way. On the other hand those poor bastards out on Regulus and/or Mizar haven’t even seen the first baseball game that was ever broadcast on TV.
